XL-ID Solutions Inc. Submits a Proposal to its Creditors

MONCTON, NEW BRUNSWICK--(Marketwired - Jan. 10, 2014) - XL-ID Solutions Inc. (formerly known as Excellium Inc.) (TSX VENTURE:XLM) (the "Corporation" or "XL-ID"), a Tier II issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), announces that it has submitted a proposal to its creditors under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) ("BIA"). The proposal is made further to the filing by XL-ID with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy of a notice of intention to submit a proposal to its creditors pursuant to the BIA, which was announced on December 4, 2013.

Under the terms of the proposal, an amount of $275,000 will be made available to Raymond Chabot Inc., as Trustee, for distribution to creditors in the manner set forth in the proposal, less an amount not to exceed $75,000 to cover fees and expenses of the proposal. The proposal also provides for the reorganization of XL-ID's share capital pursuant to which its outstanding common shares will be cancelled for no consideration and XL-ID's majority shareholder and only secured creditor, General Financial Corporation, will be the sole shareholder. Following these steps, XL-ID will be delisted from the Exchange and will apply to cease to be a reporting issuer.

The proposal is subject to approval by the statutory majority of XL-ID's creditors under the BIA at a meeting scheduled to be held on or about January 24, 2014. Provided it receives the requisite approval from its creditors, XL-ID will seek a final order from the Superior Court of Quebec approving the proposal shortly thereafter.
